12/4/2007 Dig Up The Roots

A good idea is worth ripping off, er, researching further. Radio Rumpus Room had their All-Japanese Sukiyaki Stomp (which you all should listen to on our archive while you have the chance). So, on Tuesday December 4th we presented 2 hours of songs and music from pre and post WW 2 Japanese Pop 78 RPM records. This is the sort of stuff that should be listened to in history class. The delightful and sad; boogies and rhumbas, and a visit from the Minnesota Egg Salesman. Click on the image to your right if you think i'm kidding.

These records, collectivly, are one of my prized obsessions and we listened to less than 1/2 of them today. Most of these records have littlt or no English on the labels, so the following playlist will be sketchy/scratchy in places.
